Too busy catching up on everyone else's blogs....
to update my own! I'm recovering from a two week internet fast while in Europe, though not by choice... I don't know why I didn't bring my laptop. It would've been worth it despite the weight. Is it sad that I missed it? We had a great time in Europe but were pretty exhausted by the end. I think the whole train pass/hop from city to city thing is for the 25 & under crowd! I don't know where to begin with pictures. Here are a few of my faves:

Picture Tag
Ok, well this turned out to be rather boring. But it was the tenth pic! This was in Wailea, Maui for Bill's sister's wedding, May 2006.
Molly, Melissa and... Tim? - tag you're it. Open your first picture folder and select the 10th picture. Post it and tell us about it.

Celebrating Baby Benjamin Byrd
Do you see a theme here? "B"s perhaps?... I hosted a baby shower for a dear old friend last weekend and it turned out pretty well despite having a small crowd, I think she felt loved. I wish I could do this for all my friends but some of you know hosting is not a natural gift for me, I tend to get really stressed out. I got some great ideas from a friend who is a PRO at hosting great showers and parties (thanks Mol):)

Long Beach
We picked Long Beach this year for our annual family trip, rented a great big house and had our own little slice of the beach to ourselves. We had so much fun going to the beach and the kite festival, playing monopoly and sitting by the fire pit at night. Oh and somewhere in there I managed to sprain my ankle chasing Jack down the stairs. My brother was also wearing a cast on his foot so we were quite the bunch of clutzes. I do love to be with my family though by the end of the trip I'm usually ready for a break. I'm always so sad to leave though because it usually means the end of summer is near and I guess in a morbid way, it just reminds me how fast time flies and how short life is. All the more reason to enjoy each day!
Back from a weekend at the beach...
Pics to follow soon! Never did get any photos of the triathlon weekend... maybe my friends are withholding them for a reason? It's probably better that way. :) Should be more activity on this blog in the weeks to come as we gear up for our European adventure in a little over two weeks. Woo hoo!

31 and still kickin'!
I've proven to myself I'm not completely out of shape, yet. Did a sprint triathlon in Lake Chelan w/ two girlfriends from college and I'm glad I did it but also so glad it's over! I don't think I need to do another one. There was a moment when I thought that I might drown so I don't plan on reliving that if I can help it. Now it may be time to think about a half marathon! Pictures to come (forgot my camera, so am waiting on a friend to send copies...they promise to be pretty scary).
